Arias' attempts to make money off her notoriety are not new; she's been selling art on her website. Now, the glasses she wore will go to the highest bidder, according to the station.

Bidding reportedly began midnight Sunday, starting at $500, and goes until next Wednesday night.

The website claims proceeds will go to a Phoenix nonprofit, but doesn't say which one.

The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office tells KPHO they doubt the glasses Arias is selling are even hers, but they can't stop her because they aren't associated with the actual crime.

Arias, a 34-year-old former waitress, was convicted of murder last year in the 2008 killing of her ex-boyfriend Travis Alexander, but jurors couldn't reach a decision on her sentence. Under Arizona law, prosecutors have the option of putting on a second penalty phase with a new jury in an effort to secure a death sentence. That sentencing retrial is scheduled to begin Sept. 29.

If the new jury fails to reach a unanimous decision, the death penalty will be removed as an option. The judge would then sentence Arias to spend her entire life behind bars or be eligible for release after 25 years.

Arias admitted killing Alexander at his suburban Phoenix home, but claimed self-defense. He was stabbed nearly 30 times, had his throat slit and was shot in the head.

Prosecutors argued it was premeditated murder carried out in a jealous rage when Alexander wanted to end their affair.
